Microphone Cable XLR - XLR

Cream is Chord's first microphone and instrument cable. One of the most important things a correctly designed cable will do is to reduce the amount of interference the cable can pick up. (Professional music equipment deals with the interference problem by using balanced XLR connections to equipment. This is especially useful for things like low level microphone signals.) The interference issue is fairly straightforward. In most cases the cable is a simple coaxial design (an aerial cable is a good example of a coax cable). The central conductor carries the signal; the outer braid both protects the signal and acts as a return path to complete the circuit. Most guitar cables are built from coax cables.

An Instrument Cable presents some interesting challenges. Not only does it have to transmit the signal as accurately as possible but it also needs to be highly flexible, resistant to both mechanical and electrical interference and of course, reliable.

The Cream Instrument Cable uses a screened twisted pair design and cotton spacers in order to minimise both mechanical and electrical noise and is fitted with very durable and reliable Neutrik plugs.

For many years now The Chord Company has been designing balanced cables. A balanced cable uses identical sets of send and return conductors. These are surrounded by an outer braid acting as a shield, but this is only connected at one end of the cable and is not part of the circuit. Balanced cables transmit tonal and dynamic information far better than straightforward coax designs.

The Cream Instrument Cable uses a low density polyethylene dielectric. Chord have carried out a great deal of research into the way the insulation materials react with the conductor material and low density polyethylene not only produces a highly flexible cable, but is one of the best choices for use with oxygen free copper conductors.

Cream Instrument Cables are fitted with high-quality Neutrik connectors.
